Two young boys reportedly attacked a girl at a park in Palma, forcing her immobilization and touching, as described by authorities. Officers from the National Police identified the two juveniles as the primary suspects in what was labeled a sexual assault case near a local water seller’s area. The incident drew immediate attention from park-goers and prompted rapid law enforcement response as investigators pursued the facts surrounding the event.

The alleged assault occurred on September 29 in a park located in the Palma district of Balearic County. At that moment, three underage girls were present. According to witnesses, two unfamiliar youths approached the group with little warning and swiftly moved to seize contact with one of the girls, attempting to pull her away from the seating area where she had been sitting with friends.

One of the accused grabbed the victim by the hand in an effort to lift her from the bench, while another reportedly pressured her to kiss him. Before the victim could react or seek help, one of the adolescents restrained her by the neck, rendering her momentarily unable to resist. In the midst of the struggle, the second assailant allegedly touched the victim’s hips, adding a further layer of intimidation to the confrontation.

Friends of the victim intervened, allowing the affected girl to break free and enabling the trio to flee the park in different directions. The alarming nature of the incident compelled the victim to seek assistance from local authorities, and she submitted a formal complaint at a police station. In the days that followed, the victim was able to identify one of the young attackers in street surveillance footage and through other inquiries conducted by investigators.

Within minutes of the report, a patrol unit from the National Security Brigade responded to the scene and began pursuing leads that would locate the suspects. Officers confirmed the identity of the accused and determined the location of the other individual involved. The initial recognition by the victim as one of the attackers proved crucial in guiding subsequent operations by investigators.

Investigators from the Family and Women’s Unit (Ufam) of the National Police carried out a comprehensive inquiry to reconstruct the sequence of events and to verify the allegations. After the first suspect was taken into custody, efforts continued to locate the second participant in the incident and establish a full timeline of the events that transpired that day.

Following the arrest of the first offender, the suspect who remained at large became aware that law enforcement authorities were actively seeking him. He eventually surrendered to authorities and was subsequently arrested for involvement in the alleged assault. Both youths were later brought before the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office for proceedings related to the case. The ongoing investigation aims to determine the full extent of the involvement by each participant and to confirm any additional corroborating details from witnesses and surveillance records.
